The Mite of Wellington resides in the house of the 4p panag4 Department, on the Quay of the Winter Palace, and Prince Wrede in the house formerly belonging to Count Golo. win, opposite the little theatre. The Imperial Court takes every opportunity of giving the most flattering proofs of esteem to the Duke of Wellington. The day before yesterday he dined with the Imperial Family, and had the honour to sit by his Majesty the Emperor. We hear that a rich service for the table is making in the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory as a present for the Duke. We flatter ourselves that we shall see him here till after the Coronation of their Majesties. lice Majesty, the Empress's mother, went yesterday to Zara k*selo to receive the remains of her son, the Emperor Alex ander, which will arrive there to-morrow evening. By the last accounts from Count Orloff Denisoff, the funeral of the late Emperor arrived on the 2d at Walday. COPENHAGEN, MARCH 18. We receive from Stordalen, three miles (15 miles) north of Drontheitn, great complaints of the uncommonly mild winter, which does not even allow the farmers to bring home the hay which they have made in the mountains. STOCKHOLM, MATICH 14. His Majesty has, out of especial favour, allowed the editor of the Daglight Allehauda to resume the publication .of the Journal under the old title. The accounts from the houses that have failed at Gottenburg are more satisfactory: one pays in full ; another has obtained from its creditors six months delay, and it is thought will pay in full.

Lramburgh Papers, 25th March.) A Philadelphia Paper, of the 18th February, contains the'following notice of a report made to the House. of Representatives. at Washington, from which 'it will be seen that theVnited States are about to extend the time for which foreign goods may be warehoused previous to exporta tion `Yil ',Report was yesterday received in the house of IlfPre sentatiyes, from the Secretary of the Treasury,, on a : subject of great interest to the commercial world, viz. on the expediency of ettenaing the tithe witliin which goods may be re-exPOrted, with benefit of drawback, from one to two years ; the"lteport is Very long, but as far as we rend displays ability :and sout.il Judgment. The Secretary is of opinion that the triest :s tire sug gested would be decidedly beneficial to comm 77 without b eing prejudicial to the Revenue. This is the OM Of the lte- Ports an the general principle." In our Paper of yesterday we gave the return of th e Doan an d Chapter of the Abbey Church at W estminster, to an order of. the House of Com,- ' fl '"`') for a statement .of the amount of money re. ceived from visitors to the Abbey, and the way which this money was applied. From this re tern w e learn that the average receipts have been for the last five years about eighteen hundred P"'"is P' annum, and that this sum has been divided amongst the Minor Canons and some of t he inferior Officers of the Cattudral. So far as . Ul4 goes, there is nothing in the return obnoxious to reneirk,except the fact, that any money what ever should be demanded for viewing the moult' merits in A public church, especially where that 'church is suPported and maintained at the public expellee, and iti eve o non , undergoing decoration at th e d inrg „ of the nat i on . But, nevertheless, we do not think it rieht that the tone of affected hulnil itY ) which pervades the whole of this document, should be passed over'without a wad, "or should the Dean and Chapter be permitted to hug themselves in the idea that they ha ve . thus cnecaed the improper curiosity. , of Members of the House of Commons, or , given the death-blow to the alleged right,of suchMem hers to make inquiries Into their fees and emo. Auments, when the advantage of the nation ren glered information necessary, or any extortion 401 1 their parts imperiously demanded the in kquiry. 'fin - rules of law which secure to the .subjects of these Kingdoms the full enjoyment •Of their property undisturbed, can never be sufli cieetly p rotecte d from i n f r i ngement ; but ther e 18 a Manifest disposition in official characters to P er vert these excellent and sound principles, and upon this foundation to oppose every reduc tion in the income of a public office,ou the ground .flint it is unjustly interfering with vested rights. I °' abuses without number have been and are permitted to exist, an • d when destroyed, the pub lie - is actually compelled to make compensation to the °n icer —for . what:---for permission to abo lish his offic e , as it is said, but, 'in plainer for pert4ission to take from him the . ..Power of .doing further mischief. So sure as any proposition is made. to deal honestly and fairly with public offices, the Country Gentlemen arc frighted horn : their duty by that bugbear," vested rights." :These wordanre rung in their ears with terrific loudness, and so often repeated, that they begin to think the spoiler is already at hand, and they and • their acres and their vested rights consigned to destruction and public pillage. Thus far it answers ; a sop is thrown to the dog, and then, but not before, the sinecure is committed to the tomb with all due solemnity. Although, for the sake of the inviolability of private property, a good deal of this nonsence can be tolerated, and a useless office ortwo be permitted to exist, we still think it ought not to stand in the way of public improvement or public, ad vanta.te, the more espeCially as after all there is nothing whatever in the argument. There is- nothing which could in the slightest degree shake the title of any individual to his laud and money, even if the vested rights of a , public sinecurist should be ,summarily dealt with. In accordance will' this principle, however, and trembling, we suppose, for the fate of what they call their vested rights, the Reverend Comp°. nents of the Dean and Chapter are pleased to . let the Douse of Commons know a little about their title to the Cathedral Church of St. Pe ter's, Westminster, and how that they obtained the same by Royal grant. Having gone thus far in the gratuitous information that their church was given them by Royal grant, did it not behove them to go farther and shew that when the Royal ELIZABETH (God rest her soul) was pleased to tnake this grant, she gave the Dean and Chapter, for the time being, a right to demand one shilling and three pence for the admission of all and every man, woman, and child seeking to behold the wanders of the Abbey, or moralize over the tombs of departed Statesmen and those great men whose dust tics mouldering in their church. We think it did, because we apprehend that although few could be found hardy enough to question the right of ELIZABETH to grant this church to the Dean and Chapter, or be in, any way disposed to resist its force, still not a few would be found. who consider the fee paid ow admission to the Abbey to be an illegal demand,and that it was not and could not have been sanctioned by their founder. In catholic countries the puldie churchesare at all times open,because some or other of the people ore at all times at their prayers, but in this country, since the introduction of the Protestant Religion, such has not been the case ; and it Is clear, therefore, that the taking of thi• money must have it.the first-instance been un lawful.: Rut we are told the privilege of de manding this money sites granted to the Choir in 1607; if so, whilst the Dean and Chapter were about she wing ; their title they ought to have given that tiaregraph of the grant itself which autherised them to demand this: fee on admission into their Church. The Dean ;Ind Chapter h.►ve invited this dis cussion by the following words contained in their return : And further, their founder has not only empowered but re ryuired them to defend the privileges and immunities which she has bestowed upon them against all aggression or encroach• tn en t." We have accepted the invitation, and that the more readily, because in defending their own privileges they have shoved a disposition to resist the authority of the [louse of Commons, and are so. far " out of order." BERLIN, MARCIE 2'.—The celebrated Orien talist, Professor VATEtt, died at llalle on the 16th.

The CORONATION Of the Esiecaort NICHOLAS is post poned to September or October. The cause of the delay is said to be an apprehension of :some conspiracy being renewed at the period of the fetes which will acCompany that ceremony. More than twenty thousand conspirators are known; that is to say, there are twenty thou sand no bl e Russian families compromised ; and, as they ail have connexions, it may be said that ''early all the nobility of this vast empire lie tinder suspicion.

A numerous assemblage of sportsmen of all ranks were assembled on the Common to partake of the sport, as well as a great number on foot. The deer on Starting proceeded in the direction of -Drupmere..bill, through the woods leading to it, where he was headed by the sportsmen, on foot ; the deer then made a double round towards Clibton, and ran down the hill towards the Thames. The sportsmen, who imagined that he would cross the water, proceeded, together with the hounds, over Maidenhead-bridge, and took to the right, but the deer was running along the bottom of the Wood, under Clibton.lllll, by the spring; one of the Yeomen I'rickers, who was follow. lug the deer,- gave a signal for the huntsmen and hounds to re. turn over the bridge, which they did, and, turning to the left, renewed the chase. The deer proceeded up the hill towards Lord Boston's scat at !leaser, taking to theleftby Wooburn, up the hill, and through Beaconsfield, then to the right, anti back again through the woods and enclosures down by Burn ham, crossed the Bath road towards the Thames, which he crossed opposite Bray wich. whence he ran with great swiftness.

The remainder renewed the chace front Braywich, the deer took across the fields towards White Witham, then to the left towards Ben. field,- and through the enclosures near Lord Brooke's Park, where this fine deer was at last taken, after an excellent chase of abOve live hours, during which time it is supposed to have run above GO miles.

DREADFUL FIRE,- A dreadful fire - took place between tv44,0 and three o'cloCk this morning at the Om, SOU= SEA HOUSE, at present called the oth SOUTH SEA CHAMBERS, in Broad-street. This spacious building is entirely c „i, stune d and a part of which still remains burning. Fortunately we have not to record any lives being lost. The property destroyed must :have been to a couii.: detable amount, as most part of that spaciou s building was let out as counting-houses. At that early hour in the morning at which the fire broke out but few persons were - on the spot to give assistance, and a great -scarcity of water pre.. trailed ; but fortunately in the adjacent gar• dens, which join the premises, there wag a fountain with a reservoir of water. Two engines %tere immediately attached to that .spot, which commenced playing with consider able effect, preventing the adjoining houses from taking fire. Two children, who were in bed in one of the second floors, were fortunately saved from the nettles by one of the %t 't ell (M a nsfield) of the North and South American Coffee=house, ‘‘ho tidied his life to save that of the two infants. It is not a vet exactly ascertained the cause of this dreadful fire, but supposed to have originated in one of the vaults beneath the building, which was occupied by a wine -merchant, where a candle was left burning. At one period the whole of the neighbourhood of Broad-street was in immi tient danger of being destroyed. Two o'Ciock.—The fi te continues hurtling; it broke Out in I.

On Monday last ; the per Son Who lost his life is supposed to be an English gentle man, who had been making a pedestrian tour in the Pyrennees. Big papers and money had been taken away, and. nothing' indicated to what country the unfortunate man . belonged, save that a hat was found near the spot, bearing the maker's •name, " Lloydf London." The body, and particularly the face, had been so shockingly mutilated, that any person who might have been acquainted with the victim, could never have been able to recognise the indivi. dual, A small portfolio, containing a few bo. tanical and mineralogical specimens, was also friend.; the only paper di•covered was. a small account for hoard and lodging, partly in , French and a few words in English. The police was very active in their researches after tl►ee perpe• trators of the crime, but until yesterday, ►hey 'had not been able to effect a discovery. On that day a Spanish deserter, ►vho stated that he had left his regiment on the . 7th instant, and had walked from Figueras to Perthus, Was ar rested by the gendarmes. The 'Milli wore the uniform of his regiment, and was armed with a musket and a sit lire. On extuninitiehis person, several severe bruises were discovered on his arms and shoulders. lie said, that an his rend to Perthus, he: had been attacked by a robber, and that- in the scuffle the wounds had been inflicted. No ►r+ortey or paper .be ing found upon hint, the Magistrates were out the point of sending him hack to the depot from ss hence he bad deserted, when a small pen. knife, With an ivory handle, was found concealed in his handkerchief; it bore. the mark, of " Lon don." lie could not give a satisfactory account in what manner it, had come into his possession, and on that circumstance alone he was fully coin witted to take his trial. On NVednesdny night last, a respectable fe male, named Platt, the wife of one of the millers at the steam oil-mill, in Brownlow-street, lost her life by falling into the reservoir for cooling the water, in the yard of the premises. Her bust:lend usually left his work at nine o'clock. A little before that hour she called in with another yeptig woman to accompany him home, and while in the yard, it is supposed she leaned, against a tub, on the margin of the reservoir, which rolled over, and, she Ml in. The female, whose arm she had just quitted for a moment, gave the alarm, and her husband ran in,tantly to the spot, and plunged in to save her, at the risk of his own iifN ; for tire water, seven or eight feet in depth, and mixed with slime, was in a scalding state, awl the steam arising from it rendered it impossible to dis cover the unfortunate woman, whose sufferings, as she was not afterwards heard, were probably of short duration.
